Anyone post up the eVGA SSC BIOS? My vanilla BFG OC GTX 285 isn't hitting these clocks, blackscreens in 3D when I try 1650+ shader or 780+ core, though it can hit 3ghz memory happily. I want to try flashing it and see if it improves... think the rumor of voltage adjustments in the eVGA SSC are true. PM me and I'll send you my email if you can please .

I had a seriously overclocked 280 pass through my hands a few months ago... it ran a lot hotter than the other 2 (slightly overclocked) 280's I had in for testing at the time and the fan programming was different as standard so I guess the top cards might be factory vmodded ... that would help explain the stupidly high ram clocks some testers are getting with some of the 285's...

I flashed the BIOS with an SSC one on my BFG OC and it did NOT overclock any better... something may be different hardware-wise, would love to hear more.

EDIT: I'm topping out stable at about 720core/1566shader/1485ram upon testing with either BIOS... after full stability testing. So, I'm really wondering if this is true... may go for an SC or SSC if it is.

After looking over the PCB's with high-res newegg pictures, I see there is indeed a different PCB revision for the SSC than the other GTX 285's (which all have the other rev.)... . The SC and SSC show the same revision... 4908, whereas the rest all show a 4808 number at the bottom left of the shots.

Not sure what you were looking at but ALL of the eVGA 285's, including vanilla, have 4908 at the bottom left of the board.
